Although scientific freedom is clearly at the heart of the right to science as a human right, it is less clear what this freedom entails and how it interacts with other rights and freedoms. This book is the first to provide a very comprehensive and accessible analysis of the historical, theoretical and practical dimensions of scientific freedom. A must-read for professionals and policymakers in this field! --Yvonne Donders, member, UN Human Rights Committee & professor of international human rights and cultural diversity, University of Amsterdam This book adds remarkably to the still-young debate on the right to science by highlighting that scientific freedom is the centrepiece of the right to science--as it best guarantees scientific progress. Those who believe that the right to science might usefully be appropriated for purely goal- and priority-based research should read this book to find a better understanding. --Klaus Beiter, professor of law, North-West University This nuanced, comprehensive and in-depth reassessment of scientific freedom as a constitutive element of the human right to science comes at the right moment. With a fresh perspective, the authors compellingly frame scientific freedom as a universal cultural human right and highlight its importance for democratic societies. --Gerd Oberleitner, UNESCO Chair in Human Rights and Human Security, University of Graz What is scientific freedom, why does it matter, and just as importantly, when must it be limited? These questions are both perennial and utterly timely, and this book dives into them with flair, focus, and a profound commitment to the future of human rights. --Thérèse Murphy, Queen's University Belfast
